PUBLIC fiEARINGS
ZC 86-03 Continued public hearing to consider the
Pinn, A. application of P1r. Alan Pinn for
approval of a zone change from R-1
(Single Family Residential) to PD
(Planned Development); and approval of a
Planned Development Permit, plans,
elevations and development schedule to
allow the construction of 18 townhomes
on property known as 1164-1176 Smith
Ave.
Commissioner Perrine reported that this application was considered by the
Site and Architectural Review Committee. Concerns previously expressed by
Staff and the Site Committee have been resolved in that the structures are
no longer "lined up", setbacks have been changed, Smith Ave. elevations
have been changed, additional parking has been provided, and some existing
trees have been retained; therefore, the Committee is recommending
approval.
Commissioner Fairbanks asked about the difference between R-M zoning and
PD zoning on this site in terms of setbacks and allowable units; type of
street improvements; and, the zoning on property to the south of the
subject site.
Mr. Kee discussed the ways in which the project varies from what would be
allowable under an R-M zoning: front yard setbacks (22'-27'); sideyard
setbacks (9' - 5'3"); and, creation of private street. Under the R-M
zoning district, more units would be allowable on this site.
Mr. Helms indicated that Public Works is requiring standard street
improvements to match other improvements on this street, noting that it is
the City Council's policy to require the installation of street
improvements at the time of development.
Chairman Kasolas opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
Mr. Alan Pinn, applicant, reviewed the project in detail, specifically
addressing the San Tomas Policy. He pointed out that the units will come
complete ~vith front yard landscaping; there is no parking allowed on one
side of the private street; the colors will be earth tones; building
materials include lapped siding; and, the single family property owners to
the south will largely see a sloping roof 10' from the fence.
t•1/S: Fairbanks, Olszewski - That the public hearing on ZC 86-03 be
closed. Motion carried unanimously
(7-0-0).
-3-
Commissioner Fairbanks stated that she was not in favor of a density
change for this area, in that she felt it assaulted the Council policy for
this area. However, she is charged, as a Commissioner, to make certain
that once the density is changed, and the General Plan and Zoning Map are
consistent, that an application meets the zoning requirements. In this
case, the applicant has done a fine job in applying the San Tomas Policy
to his development; therefore, she is speaking in favor of approval (with
the cautions as stated).
Commissioner Dickson stated that the project has minimal driveways and
minimal setbacks which will present a dense profile when built. The good
features of this application are the excellent reputation of the
developer, the good building profiles, and the architecture -- showing
just how much can be done on a small lot. Commissioner Dickson noted that
he would be speaking in favor of the application.
ti/S: Perrine, Christ -

TS 86-03
Pinn Bros.
Continued Tentative Subdivision Map -
Lands of Pinn Bros. Construction - 1164,
1176, and 1180 Smith Ave.
Mr. Kee reported that this item is directly related to ZC 86-03 on this
evening's agenda, which proposes the construction of 18 townhomes on the
project site. The proposed Tentative Subdivision Map would allow the
creation of 18 single family lots on a private cul-de-sac. The proposed
project would be developed at a density of 8.9 units per gross acre,
which is consistent with the Low-Medium Density Residential designation of
6-13 units per gross acre as shown on the General Plan for these
properties. Staff is recommending approval of this map, subject to the
attached conditions.

ti/S: Fairbanks, Stanton - That the Planning Commission find the
proposed map to be in accord with the
General Plan; and, that the Planning

Permit; plans, elevations, and
development schedule to allow the
construction of an addition to an
existing mini-storage facility on
property known as 61 Dillon Ave. in a PD
(Planned Development/Industrial) Zoning
District.
Commissioner Perrine reported that this application was considered by the
Site and Architectural Review Committee. The Committee is recommending
approval.
Pir. Kee stated that Staff is recommending. approval as presented, subject
to conditions as indicated in the Staff Report.

Planning Commission adopt the attached
findings, and adopt a resolution

DISCUSSION
Chairman Kasolas noted that he would like to have assurances that this
project would be a positive contribution to the Dillon Ave. area and that
it would not create a further parking problem, particularly for abandoned
vehicles.
Commissioner Dickson asked if this project is within the redevelopment
area; and, he asked that the Planning Commission be made aware of the
Redevelopment Agency's policy for referral of projects.
Commissioner Stanton asked about the storage of hazardous materials on the
site, and inspection and enforcement practices.
Staff responded that this site is outside the boundary for referring
projects to the Redevelopment Agency; that there is a hazardous materials
ordinance which is enforced by the Fire Department; and, that the Fire
Department has authority, under the Uniform Fire Code, to perform routine
inspections and inspection warrants could be obtained if there was
probable cause.
AMENDMENT TO MOTION
Commissioner Perrine proposed that the motion for approval be amended to
include a condition stating that on-site parking is provided for patrons
only, and no parking spaces are available for rental or storage of
vehicles on the site.
_ Commissioner Dickson noted that the site plan does not indicate parking
designated for rental or vehicle storage, and that the added condition
could amplify any possible situation, creating an enforcement problem;
however, he stated he would accept the amendment to the motion.
M/S: Perrine, Christ - That Condition No. 22 be added stating
that on-site parking is provided for
patrons only, and no parking spaces are
available for rental or storage of
vehicles on the site. Motion for
amendment carried with a vote of 6-1-0,
with Commissioner Fairbanks voting "no".

UP 86-07 Public hearing to consider the applica-
Manoukian, 0. tion of P1r. Ohan Manoukian for a Use
Permit and approval of plans to allow
the conversion of a garage to living
space on property known as 750 Century
Drive in an R-1 (Single Family
Residential) Zoning District.
Commissioner Perrine reported that this application was considered by the
Site and Architectural Review Committee. The Committee is recommending
approval, with a change in the conditions to provide that the work be
completed in six months; and, subject to the redlining of the presented
plans (building materials).
Chairman Kasolas opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
Mr. Ohan Manoukian, architect, asked that the redlining, which provided
that the garage door be stuccoed, be waived. He stated that the existing
door is wood siding and it would not make much difference to change it;
additionally, the stucco on the house is an integrated color which is
impossible to match.
Chairman Kasolas suggested that this item be continued to resolve this
matter if the applicant was not in agreement with the Site and
Architectural Review Committee.
Mr. Manoukian stated that he would like to discuss the matter further with
the Site Committee, and would therefore be in favor of a continuance.
M/S: Fairbanks, Olszewski - That UP 86-07 be continued to the
Planning Commission meeting of June 24,
1986. Motion carried unanimously
(7-0-0).
The Commission recessed at 8:35 p.m.; the meeting reconvened at 8:50.

PD 86-02 Public hearing to consider the applica-
Anderson, K. tion of Mr. I:urt Anderson for a Planned
Development Permit, plans, elevations,
and development schedule to allow
construction of 2 townhomes on property
known as 274 Everett Ave. in a PD
(Planned Development/P4edium Density _
Residential) Zoning District.
-~-
Commissioner Perrine reported that this application was considered by the
Site and. Architectural Review Committee, and a continuance is recommended.
Commissioner Dickson noted that this item has been referred to the
Redevelopment Agency. He expressed a concern that the application has
been discussed prior to the public hearing, in that this creates. pressure
on the Commission when the item comes before the Commission with comments
from the Council as the Redevelopment Agency.
Chairman Kasolas read the Referral from the Redevelopment Agency into the
record (attached hereto). Chairman Kasolas noted that the downtown area
is zoned PD (Planned Development), but the referral indicates an R-2
zoning.
Commissioner Dickson responded that his concern is that this item requires
a public hearing, and it should not have been deliberated prior to the
public hearing before the Planning Commission.
Commissioner Olszewski expressed the same concern as Commissioner Dickson
and asked for an opinion from the City Attorney.
Mr. Seligmann responded that, from a legal standpoint, there is nothing
wrong with any agency .commenting or providing opinions on a proposed
development. Essentially, the Planning Commission's charge is to obtain
as much information as possible to facilitate the decision-making process;
and, this is simply another input to that process.
Commissioner Dickson noted that normally the other agencies to which
projects are referred are not "approval" agencies. The Redevelopment
Agency/City Council is an approval agency, and there is a difference.
Chairman Kasolas asked if Commissioner Dickson was suggesting that the
item be moved ahead; and, that a dialogue between the Commission and
Redevelopment Agency be established. He asked the City Attorney to
schedule an appropriate time within the next week for discussion of this
matter.
Commissioner Dickson noted his agreement.
Commissioner Olszewski stated that he would like to see the applicant
explain how this development meets the PD Zoning District's requirement
that the development plans must clearly demonstrate that the proposed use
or development will clearly result in a more desirable environment and use
of land than would be possible under any other zoning classification --
how more units are better.
Chairman Kasolas opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
_ M/S: Christ, Olszewski - That the public hearing on PD 86-02 be
continued to the Planning Commission
j meeting of July 8, 1986. Motion carried
'- unanimously (7-0-0).

PD 86-03 Public hearing to consider the applica-
Hester, L. tion of Mr. Larry Hester for approval of
a Planned Development Permit, plans,
elevations, and development schedule to
allow construction of an
office/warehouse building on properties
known as 40 & 48 Railway Ave. in a PD
(Planned Development/Industrial) Zoning
District.
Commissioner Perrine reported that this application was considered by the
Site and Architectural Review Committee. Because this item is being
reviewed by the Redevelopment'Agency, a continuance is being recommended.
Mr. Kee noted that Staff is recommending a continuance with the
applicant's concurrence.
Chairman Kasolas opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
M/S: Perrine, Fairbanks - That the public hearing on PD 86-03 be
continued to the Planning Commission
meeting of June 24, 1986. Motion
carried unanimously (7-0-0).
EIR 86-02 Public hearing to consider the Draft
Chalmers, W. L. Environmental Impact. Report prepared for
a proposed industrial complex on
property known as 700 McGlincey Lane in
an M-1-S (Light Industrial) Zoning
District.
Mr. Stafford briefly reviewed the Draft EIR, noting that Staff is of the
opinion that the impacts discussed in the report have been adequately
identified; however, Staff would recommend that additional mitigation
measures be provided to minimize the visual impact of the mini-storage
facility through the provision of on-site landscaping and architectural
modifications.
Chairman Kasolas noted a petition which was received from area residents
indicating their opposition to the proposed development. The petition
(copy attached) was. read into the record.
Commissioner Olszewski questioned the acceptability of Figures 10 & 11 of
the report, using drawings as artistic renditions.
Pir. Stafford indicated that in other reports, pictures have been
included. Staff looks for the drawings to accurately depict what the
project would look like upon completion.
-9-
Commissioner Dickson stated that the drawings didn't do any good, in that
the majority of drawings are not to scale. He felt that pictures would
provide a better prospective.
Chairman Kasolas opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
Mr. George Iieeg, EIR Consultant,
determining the traffic level of

services calculations. He further

Mr. John Robascotti, 680 Sweetbriar Drive, stated his concern about the
continuity of the fence line in that his property backs up to the
construction yard and the pipe yard.
Mr. Kee indicated that eventually there will be standard single family
homes backing up to the speaker's property.
Mr. Fred Wagener, 690 Parkdale, also speaking on behalf of Mr. Paul
Barber, spoke regarding problems with the industrial area. Mr. [Wagener
stated that he is tired of the problems caused by the light industrial
uses in that they are really more like heavy industrial uses; he also
noted possible future problems when the properties are sold, including
chemical storage; and, the impossibility of controlling what is stored in
mini-storage facilities.
Mr. James Le Blanc, 691 Stanfield, expressed concern about the height of
the proposed buildings and the perspective from the residential area,
noting the the area residents did not feel the EIR presented an accurate
projection and would be more visible than indicated.
Pir. Heeg reviewed the perspectives in the report, noting the location from
which the drawings were discerned.
Mr. Wagener noted that if the homeowners had their own report, the results
would be completely different. He continued that he is not against light
industrial uses, however, the situation is out of control in this area;
and, there is not way to control what will be stored in these units, nor
what future owners might do with the property.
Commissioner Olszewski asked Mr. Wagener if he was asking that the EIR
address what types of items would be stored in the mini-storage units.
Mr. Wagener indicated that this was a concern, as well as the fact that
the report was prepared by the same company that did the EIR for West
Valley Construction Co. which the residents did not agree with at that
time.
-10-
P~ir. David Larson, 690 Sweetbriar Dr., questioned the location of the
proposed 8 foot fence/wall in relation to the proposed buildings.
Mr. Kee responded that 21 feet is indicated on the presented plan between
the wall and the proposed buildings. The presented plans indicate a three
story building to the south of the property abutting the not yet
constructed residential units. Pir. Kee reiterated that the EIR is to
provide information upon which to base a decision regarding a project.
The project itself is the next item on the agenda, and the Site Committee
expressed specific problems ~oith the "S" approval and will be recommending
a continuance.
Chairman Kasolas asked about the current use of the subject property,
noting that it is full of old trucks, etc. Iie asked that the EIR address
itself to any adverse effects to the environment due to the past and
present uses of the site being amplified.
Commissioner Dickson noted the following areas of concern in the EIR:
1. Page 2, Step 4 - misleading, should be further explained.
2. Page 2, bottom - refer to Fig. 1 - believe use of setbacks is
inadequate, especially Fig. 1 which should have been covered by
the site layout.
3. .Page 3, Fig. 1 - PG&E easement not shown.
4. Page 6, bottom of pg. refer to Fig. 5 - believe completely
inadequate.
5. Page 9, bottom next to last line - no definition of limited
accessibility over weekend - could be full time use or one person
allowed.
6. Page 12, line 5 - operator on duty at all times when open - not
clearly defined.
7. Page 15, line 4 - untrue statement - requires site review, etc.
8. Fig. 8 & 9 - very misleading sketches.
9. Page 15, last Para. - misleading statement. Common ownership
now, but nothing requiring this to remain; think it should be
treated like separate ownership.
10. Page 16 - sktch not scaled.
11. Page 17, Fig. 9 - can't determine projection.
12. Page 18, Fig. 10, 11 & 12 - again, sketches.
13. Page 25, Sect. 15 - no treatment of solar shadows or effects on
the residential area.
14. Page 25, Light & Glare - statement "could intrude".
15. Page 26 - again talking about a future residential development -
this design should protect that residential use.
16. Page 27, Sect. 16, Para. B, last sentence - disagree with - the
Plannin Commission's job is to make sure there is compatibility.
Chairman Kasolas asked if the present residential zoning on the southern
portion of this site allowed storage; and, if not, he felt the use should
be stopped.
-11-
Commissioner Christ noted that he was concerned with Page 15 of the EIR
addressing landscaping. At the present time there are no residential
property owners in the subject area to maintain the proposed trees. It
should be addressed in the EIP. that this landscaping will have to be
maintained until there are residences.
Al/S: Dickson, Christ -
That the public hearing on EIR 86-02 be
continued in order that the consultant
may address concerns expressed by the
Planning Commission, includin; an
analysis of the visual impact on
neighboring residential area.
DISCUSSION Oid Pi0TI0td
Commissioner Christ felt that it would be beneficial if actual prints were
provided with lines drawn on to indicate site plan.
Commissioner Olszewski stated that he would like to see scale drawings to
meet the concerns of the neighbors. He would also like to see tree
retention and condition addressed. Commissioner Olszewski noted that he
is not in favor of the motion for continuance because this is a Draft EIR
which has done it's job, in his opinion, and comments from this evening's
testimony should be addressed in the Final EIR. A continuance of this
report has created another step in the process.
VOTE OP7 MOTION
Motion for continuance to July 8, 1986
carried with. a vote of 6-1-0, with
Commissioner Olszewski voting "no".
S 86-06 Application of P1r. td. L. Chalmers for
Chalmers, W. L. approval of plans and elevations to
allow the construction of 4 industrial
buildings on property known as 700
P1cGlincey Lane in an M-1-S (Light
Industrial) Zoning District.
Commissioner Perrine reported that this application was considered by the
Site and Architectural Review Committee. A continuance to July 8, 1986 is
being recommended, with a strong recommendation for a reduction in the
size of the proposed buildings.
t~4r. Kee noted that Staff is also recommending a continuance in order that
concerns indicated in the Staff Report can be addressed by the applicant.
Commissioner Christ stated that the recommendation for continuance is
without the applicant's concurrence.
-12-
P1r. Bob Saxe, Attorney representing Mr. Chalmers, stated that the
applicant has no problem with a continuance. The applicant was under the
impression that the issues were considerably narrow revolving around
building mass and landscaping - issues to which the architect has raised
several possibilities that could alleviate the concerns. Pir. Saxe
continued that he would like discussion from the Commission addressing the
apparent confusion of the neighbors as to what the proposed project is
supposed to do. tir. Saxe felt that it might be important to note that rlr.
Chalmers does have approval of a tentative map to construct 12 homes
between the existing residences and the proposed mini-storage.
Chairman Kasolas stated that the Commission will not make a commitment on
the proposal until the final plans are presented, in that it is not the
Commission's policy , and would be most inappropriate, to prejudge a
project.
Mr. Seligmann noted that the Chairman's statement was correct - the
Commission's role is to decide on what is presented, rather than to design
projects.
Commissioner Fairbanks stated that she would prefer not to hear the matter
of S 86-06 this evening, but continue its discussion until after the EIR
is determined to be complete. However, she would like to note her
concerns with the project; particularly the south wall that addresses
potential residences as it relates to color and building materials.
Commissioner Fairbanks continued that the Commission's policy has been for
masonry walls between mixed uses; and, she will be looking for significant
landscaping as a buffer between residences and mini-storage. Commissioner
Fairbanks noted that the EIP. was confusing to her in that it sounds like
the landscaping is going to be 'dumped' right in on the R-1.
Commissioner Christ suggested that the applicant meet with Staff to
discuss the project's design.
Commissioner Olszewski noted that the issues indicated in the Staff Report
are the issues that were dealt with in the Site and Architectural Review
meeting.
M/S: Olszewski, Christ - That S 86-06 be continued to the
Planning Commission meeting of July 8,
1986 in order that the applicant can
address concerns indicated in the Staff
Report, as well as issues discussed by
the Planning Commission this evening.
t~totion carried unanimously (7-0-0).

MM 86-08 Continued application of Mr. Bruno
Bicocca, B. Bicocca for a modification to an
existing development to construct a
flower stand in the parking area of a
commercial center on property known as
75 N. San Tomas Aquino Rd. in a C-1-S
(Neighborhood Commercial) Zoning
District.
Mr. Kee reported that this item has been continued from meetings of March
25, April 22, May 13, and May 27, 1986, in order that the applicant could
submit revised plans addressing the concerns expressed by Staff and the
Commission. In that Staff has not received new plans since April 8, 1986,
Staff is of the opinion that because of the number of continuances and the
lack of progress, action should be taken at this time. Staff is
recommending denial.
M/S: Perrine, Christ - That the Planning Commission adopt
findings attached hereto and deny MM
86-08 without prejudice. notion carried
with a vote of 6-0-1, with Commissioner
Fairbanks being absent.
SA 86-21 Sign application of Midas Muffler for
Piidas Muffler property known as 1236 Whiteoaks Rd. in
a C-2-S (General Commercial) Zoning
District.
Commissioner Perrine reported that this application was considered by the
Site and Architectural Review Committee. The Committee considered this
application as a modification and improvement, to a legally existing
sign; therefore, approval is recommended.
M/S: Olszewski, Stanton - That the attached findings be adopted,
and that SA 86-21 be approved, subject
to conditions as indicated in the Staff
Report dated June 10, 1986. Motion

MI~f 86-14 Application of Air. Steve Welge on
Welge, S. behalf of ARCO for a modification to an
approved use permit (UP 82-06) to allow
interior alterations to an existing
mini-market and gas station on property
known as 2015 S. Winchester Blvd. in a
C-3-S (Central Business District
---- Commercial) Zoning District.
-14-
Mr. Kee reported that ARCO is proposing to modify the interior of the
mini-market use. The modification involves the relocation of the sales
counter, expansion of the hot food center, and the addition of several
partition walls. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed interior
alterations should not adversely effect the operation of the store, and is
recommending approval. However, in the past, the Commission has expressed
a concern regarding the lack of public restrooms at this location. One
restroom is present, but is not available to the public, although it does
have an exterior door. Staff recommends that as a condition of approval
for this modification, the restroom be made available to the public during
business hours. In addition, if it is to be used by the public, it will
have to be made handicap accessible.
M/S: Perrine, Stanton That the attached findings be adopted,
and that Mti 86-14 be approved, subject
to conditions as indicated in the Staff
Report dated June 10, 1986, and as
redlined. Motion carried with a vote of
6-0-1, with Commission Fairbanks being
absent.
MM 86-11 Application of Pir. Morris Stark, on
S 86-03 behalf of Mr. Fred Sahadi, for approval
Stark, M• of plans and elevations to permit a -~
modification to a previously approved i
plan to allow the construction of a
94-unit motel, related restaurant and
recreational facilities, and 2,778
sq.ft. of retail space in the northerly
portion of an existing shopping center
(The Pruneyard) on property known as
1875 S. Bascom Ave. in a C-2-S (General
Commercial) Zoning District.
Commissioner Perrine reported that this application was considered by the
Site and Architectural Review Committee. The Committee is requesting
additional detail to come back to the Planning Director. The
Architectural Advfsor was quite impressed with the design of the changes
submitted. A parking concern was discussed by the Committee; however, the
Committee believes a plan can be worked out whereby a detailed parking
plan will come back prior to the issue of a building permit. Such a plan
to include the details of valet parking, and designated parking. Approval
is recommended with that one concern regarding parking.
Chairman Kasolas asked when, in the past, the Commission has made a
parking plan a condition of the building permit.
Commissioner Perrine noted that in this particular case, there are many
uses on the site and there appear to have been concerns previously ^,
expressed regarding the parking on this site. The recommendation
regarding the parking plan was a judgment call of the Committee.
-15-
PIr. Kee noted that there is a condition on the previously approved S 86-03
which indicates that if designated parking is provided for the motel,
Planning Comnmission approval is required.
Chairman Kasolas noted that, in other words, if the applicant wishes to
move the project ahead without designated parking it would be permissable.
Chairman Dickson indicated that the Commission has the authority to put
any condition on a project, regardless of cahat was done in the past.
Commissioner Christ stated that he and Commissioner Fairbanks brought out
the parking issue when this project was first before the Commission.
There are several uses on this site, and it is the applicant's obligation
to provide the Commission with the information on how he can make that
parking work. Commissioner Christ continued that there. are also
recommended findings which deal with parking - the Commission is asked to
find that there is adequate parking. In that there is no evidence
supporting this finding, Commissioner Christ felt it should be taken off.
Iie noted that he would be willing to make that finding if information is
provided which proves that the parking will work.
Commissioner Stanton noted that it has been determined that sufficient
parking is available - where did the term "designated" parking come from?
Who enforces the designated parking?
Mr. Kee stated that if there is going to be designated parking - a
detailed plan should be provided.
Lengthy discussion ensued regarding the provision of adequate parking;
designated parking; and, the concept of valet parking.
M/S: Dickson, Stanton - That the Planning Commission adopt the
attached findings and approve DiM 86-11/S
86-03, subject to the attached
conditions.
DISCUSSION OF MOTION
Commissioner Olszewski stated his concern about the area directly adjacent
to the motel being designated parking. However, he noted that he had a
problem with the building permit being held up just to get a parking
plan. He asked if there was another way.
Commissioner Dickson noted that Condition 17 handles this concern.
Commissioner Christ stated that he felt there was parking being
designated, but not being shown on the presented plans. He noted that he
would prefer not to have designated parking; however, if there is to be
designated parking he would like to know where it is and how it will work
so that there will be minimal problems. He continued that he is against
_ making everything designated, and would rather see some designated parking
at this point, and more later if necessary.

Mr. Fred Sahadi, applicant, spoke at length regarding the designated
parking at the shopping center. Mr. Sahadi indicated that he would like
the Commission to give him flexibility in the number of spaces to be
designated for motel use.
Lengthy discussed ensued regarding this issue of designated parking.
At this time, Commissioners Dickson and Stanton withdrew their motion for
approval.
Commissioner Olszewski asked Mr. Sahadi how much time would be needed for
a designated parking plan to come back to the Commission.
tor. Sahadi stated that there was a designated parking plan before the
Commission. He asked that the Commission give leeway to approve the plan
and let him come back to the Site Committee for approval (as opposed to
the Commission as a whole), in that he did not know just how many
designated spaces would work. The number of spaces necessary will not be
determined until the motel is in operation.
Commissioner Dickson asked if there was designated parking on the
presented plan, or not.
Mr. Y.ee responded that it could be interpreted either way, in that there
is nothing written on the plan to specify designated parking.
Chairman Kasolas noted that the applicant wants the ability to designate
no more than 117 spaces at some time in the future, or less, as seen
fit. This is necessary for the financing purposes on the project.
Mr. Kee stated that he would suggest that the presented plans be redlined
to indicate the Commission's choice.
M/S: Dickson, Stanton - That the Planning Commission adopt
findings as attached, and approve MM
86-11/S 86-03, subject to conditions
indicated in the Staff Report dated June
10, 1986, minus Condition 417 ("If
designated parking is provided for the
inn, Planning Commission approval is
required"), and with the statement added
that the Planning Commission determined
that up to 11.7 parking spaces may be
designated for motel use only. Motion
carried with a vote of 5-1-1, with
Commissioner Christ voting "no", and
Commissioner Fairbanks being absent.

Members of the City Council and Residents of Campbell:
This letter concerns the proposed industrial complex at
700 McGlincey Lane. As residents of the adjoining neigh-
borhood, we strongly ob3ect to the three-story height of
the proposed "mini"-storage units to be built by W. L. Chalmers.
We find the drawings in the Draft Environmental- Impact
Report to be very misleading. It is our opinion that a
building of that proportion would not, in reality, appear
to be in harmony with the existing residential neighborhood
and would be overpowering visually, to say the least.
A 2-story height limit would be a more reasonable proposal.
Along with the questionable .perspective represented in the
drawings and the expected overbearing height of the proposed
storage units, there is the additonal question of whether
the proposed new homes will_be built before the "mini"-
storage units are constructed and/or whether the proposed
new homes will ever be built at all. In the event that the
homes are not actually constructed, the issue of the
visual discord with the existing neighborhood again arises.
r
Please take this into consideration when you are making your
decision as to whether or not Mr. Chalmers be granted a
permit for the construction of the proposed "mini"-storage units.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely, ,(;,~ u nr's
